Fw: [Alumni-chat] Selling Antioch!

[Steven Duffy]

Ah good ole alumni chat...hypercritical and skeptical and a place for
pontificating.   and thinking your decade wuz the goledn
one.....each decade is actually....

This a small voice who works here..(40 years including student
years)..still good faculty......small classes......
great students..beautiful environment but with fraying facilities......and
scarcity of modern toyz....

    also  a terrible scarcity of revenue in the form of donations and
matriculations.  and other university units that compete rather
than contribute.   we must rebuild or else.      everyone's help is needed
not just hot air and pre-judgements from afar.

         I also think co-op has been shrunk a little too much and is the
saving grace.  but it may take a mulltitude pushing in the right
places..(not here for example) to push things back in the better direction.

                Also some cultural problems.....that will take awhile to
evolve....we need money and positive sweat equity........

                  Antioch and YS are great places.    Need help
rebuilding.   Even if you are feeling alienated and cantakerous
                   please open your heart enough to send some money and
mark it unrestricted.
                   I have also worked pretty closely with Institutional
Advancement and Budget people and can tell your that
                   there is very little funny stuff happening.....
